The award-winning global success BODYGUARD - THE MUSICAL goes on its first major tour of Germany in its lavish German production. More than four million visitors in twelve countries prove it: BODYGUARD is not only a hit in the cinema!
From London, the glamorous musical conquered the metropolises of the world and can be experienced for the first time at the Alte Oper Frankfurt from 18 December 2019 to 11 January 2020. Choreographies, 16 top hits as well as the love story around superstar Rachel Marron and her bodyguard Frank Farmer guarantee the audience a very special live experience!
With the premiere at London's West End in 2012, BODYGUARD also became a hit on stage. This is evidenced not only by four nominations for the prestigious Laurence Olivier Award and the WhatsOnStage Award for "Best New Musical" - BODYGUARD - THE MUSICAL is also a crowd puller at the box office.
The blockbuster Bodyguard, based on the screenplay by multiple Oscar-nominated writer Lawrence Kasdan (including. Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back, Indiana Jones - Raiders of the Lost Ark) made the sweeping love story of Rachel Marron and her bodyguard Frank Farmer world famous. In Germany alone, the film attracted over 6 million viewers to the cinemas. In the musical adaptation by Academy Award winner Alexander Dinelaris, the film material of the nineties is transformed into a stage experience of the present day.
Just like the film, the musical gets its special touch from the songs of the legendary Grammy Award-winning soundtrack. With over 45 million records sold, it is still the most successful film soundtrack of all time. BODYGUARD - THE MUSICAL also features numerous other No. 1 hits, such as "I Wanna Dance with Somebody", "How Will I Know" or "One Moment in Time". Not to forget one of the most beautiful ballads of all time: "I Will Always Love You".
Former secret agent Frank Farmer is hired to protect superstar Rachel Marron from an unknown stalker - against her will. Neither the eccentric diva nor her stern bodyguard are willing to compromise - until what unfolds between them is what no one expected: a passionate love story.
